Okanagan by bike

We ventured to the Okanagan, one of the hottest and most popular tourist destinations in B.C. It's renowned for its sun, fruit and numerous vineyards.

We headed for Osoyoos, a small town close to the US border. At this time of year, it's hot - very hot - 39 degrees hot.

We'd planned to do a bike ride; despite the heat we stuck to our plan.

We stopped off at three vineyards on route, Burrowing Owl (which had the most spectacular views), Stoneboat (which had the best Pino Gris and dessert wine I've ever tasted) and Silver Sage (which was the most fun - it served fruit wines and the host was a hoot!).

In total we cycled 30+ km and drank 22 wines. Here are some of my favourite snaps:

Yep - Osoyoos is renowned for selling fruit, and I was delighted to see 'Sherrys Berrys' on sale. Perhaps I should suggest we go into business together.

This is the view from The Burrowing Owl winery - truly spectacular.

Me cycling through the vineyards quite happily...

We finished the day by jumping in the lake near our campsite followed by a BBQ.
